Day Walk Polly McQuinns to Gooram Falls

Postby gmac » Mon 11 Jan, 2021 4:41 pm

Had been to both these places in the Strathbogie's but was unaware of the ability to walk the creek between the two locations. Starting from the carpark at Polly's you just follow the course of the Seven Creeks, with no defined path to follow you will need to cross the creek numerous times due too narrow steep gorges, large boulder blockages and large slow pools of water. Along the way you will see a variety of cascades. fast moving chutes, large gums and about 1.5km from the end a pretty nice set of falls. It's not the easiest of walks but taking your time over the 8km or so it makes for a very nice day walk. I wouldn't try it with high volumes of water. There is some info on the web in particular one article done in 2018 see the link https://strathbogierangesnatureview.wor ... mmer-2018/

If looking for somewhere different give it a go.

Thanks for the info, photos and link, gmac. I've been eyeing off the Strathbogie's on Google Earth for awhile and thinking about a visit, this info will help a lot.
